SUMMARY:Exhibition - Nature Recovery in Cornwall
DESCRIPTION:On a single day in summer\, one acre of wildflower meadow can contain 3 million flowers\, producing 1kg of nectar sugar. That’s enough to support nearly 96\,000 honeybees per day. \n97% of species-rich grassland has been lost in the UK since the 1930s\, with the remaining 3% mostly fragmented across the country\, leaving little room for wildlife to spread. \nExplore how the National Trust and partners are tackling these issues\, through the Coastal Meadows project and the Lizard Rarities Project\, in this photography exhibition.

SUMMARY:Exhibition | Siticulosa | Maeve Brennan
DESCRIPTION:Set in the Apulia region of southern Italy\, Siticulosa\, 2025 (45min) is part of an ongoing body of work by artist Maeve Brennan\, which focuses on the global trade in illicit antiquities. The film unfolds through a series of interviews with individuals including a biodynamic farmer\, an art historian and a forensic archaeologist\, each with a distinct relationship to the land and the objects buried within it. \nIt traverses a parched landscape of caves and looted tombs\, evoking a consideration of the relationship between archaeology\, geology and ecology. Siticulosa is a study of a territory\, its past and present\, and the people who inhabit it. \nMaeve Brennan is a London-based artist and filmmaker whose practice explores the social\, historical and political resonance of material and place. Brennan was awarded the prestigious Paul Hamlyn Award for Artists in 2025 and is the recipient of the FLAMIN Production Award 2025 for her project DEEP STORAGE. Her works have been widely exhibited\, most recently at Tai Kwun Contemporary\, Hong Kong\, Barbican Centre\, London\, The High Line\, New York\, and Tate Britain\, London. \nMaeve Brennan will visit CAST to give an artist’s talk and screen her earlier work An Excavation (2022)\nFriday 3 April 2026 – Saturday 30 May 2026\nWednesday to Saturday\, 10am-4pm \nScreenings begin every 45mins:\n10am\n10.45am\n11.30am\n12.15pm\n1pm\n1.45pm\n2.30pm\n3.15pm \nFree admission\, all welcome

SUMMARY:The Crucible
DESCRIPTION:Join Helston Theatre Company for their retelling of Arthur Miller’s iconic play.\nConsumed by paranoia\, superstition and a ruthless sense of justice\, a climate of fear and mass hysteria sweeps through the town of Salem\, Massachusetts when rumors grow that a group of girls are practicing witchcraft.

SUMMARY:Make a Dress Block
DESCRIPTION:The aim of the course is to come away with a well fitted dress block (a basic dress pattern with fitted bodice\, pencil skirt and fitted sleeve). Having your own block is so useful and essential for making new patterns at home. \nPlease note\, we will not be drafting the block from scratch\, we will be amending a block to fit you. We will start by taking measurements and amending the pattern where possible first. Then you will make a toile of the dress in calico to fit. You will have a couple of fittings\, as we refine the fit of the garment in stages. These fitting techniques can be applied to any dress/top pattern that you use in future!

SUMMARY:Screening - Manifesto
DESCRIPTION:Ane Hjort Guttu’s film Manifesto\, 2020\, (27 min) speculates on the aims and purposes of institutional art education. Newly migrated into a university and an open-plan campus building\, an art school feels cornered by a suffocating culture of surveillance and administration. Staff and students find ways to subvert control through secret operations. Drawing on her own experiences as an art teacher\, Ane Hjort Guttu explores what is lost when creativity is replaced by order and provides action plans for how to be the playful rebel. \nAne Hjort Guttu is a visual artist and filmmaker based in Oslo. She works across a range of media\, with a particular focus on text and moving images. Her practice explores the relationship between freedom and power\, how we navigate public space\, individual autonomy\, and the social\, economic\, and political conditions of art. \nFrom 13 to 20 March 2026 Ane Hjort Guttu will be leading the eighth Cornwall Workshop\, a weeklong intensive residential workshop for artists\, curators and writers based in Cornwall and the South West. The workshop is organised by CAST and hosted at Kestle Barton on the Lizard peninsula.

SUMMARY:Make a Trouser Block
DESCRIPTION:The aim of the class is to come away with a well fitted trouser block. Having your own block is so useful and essential for making new patterns at home. We will be drafting the block from scratch from your measurements\, so please wear leggings so that we can get accurate measurements before we start. After we have drafted the block and added seam allowance\, we will make up a quick toile in calico to check the fit\, before making any adjustments on the pattern. Please note you will not have a finished pair of trousers to take home\, you will have a calico toile and pattern block. From your block you can then make pattern design alterations\, such as adding pockets\, adding a waistband or waist facing\, seam lines etc at home.
